This event has now taken place, but you can still purchase Pay-to-View tickets and we will send you the recordings.

Acknowledging the Past, Sharing the Future

We want to include people from minority ethnic backgrounds with our heritage projects. Do it effectively, inclusively and without getting it wrong. Many us know how to carry out a history research project, but how do we then use that information to engage with people? How do we involve people who can help us to tell those stories from a different perspective?

This HTN Scotland event will help you understand how to approach different communities within your area and make them feel welcome and included in your project. Non-members welcome.

We are delighted to be joined by the following speakers:

Ghzala Khan, Deputy Director of the West of Scotland Regional Equality Council.

Sian Loftus, Heritage Consultant, 'Aye, it wis Aabody' project, Birse.

Sharan Dhanda, Producer of the 'Don't Settle' project, Beatfreeks, Birmingham
